Cohorts in pecking: a story of friendship
(04/23/12 2:47am)
And so the countdown begins. In less than one month, I will graduate from my beloved University of Wisconsin-Madison. This reality has lead to a comprehensive slew of emotions, among them being displeasure with life’s general fleetingness. I have found the best way to deal with these circumstances is to live in the moment as best I can and focus on why I have loved UW so much: the people. Please allow me to tell you about one in particular.
‘Undergrad Diet’ the new ‘Freshman Fifteen’
(04/11/12 12:56am)
You hear it hundreds of times before you come to college: “Watch out for the ‘Freshman Fifteen.’” This sentence is always uttered by well-meaning, “been there, done that”-type personalities, people who like to imply that they know more than you because they graduated college before the turn of the century. What these people are referring to is the imminent and rapid onset of body fat due to increased consumption of beer, chasers and late night Juston sticks. The idea you could have pizza for nearly every meal of your freshman existence is just too much for some people to restrain themselves (myself included). As a result, this all too common affliction creates beer bellies on formerly fit football jocks and puts lovely love handles on ladies; handles that will not look cute in even the blackest of LBDs.I believe wholeheartedly the fear of the “Freshman Fifteen” is what keeps the SERF alive and well all year ‘round.

Champaign: where class goes to die
(03/05/12 12:49am)
Over the past four years, I have made an annual pilgrimage to Champaign, Ill. It is not exactly my favorite place on the planet: I prefer cities where trees outnumber gas stations. Still, one of my best friends from high school, Kelsey, is a student there, so I happily make the trek down once every 365 days.

Jacqueline's Workout Plan
(02/20/12 1:11am)
I started my senior year with two goals I hoped to accomplish by the end of the 30 weeks: graduate and return to the weight I first walked through Witte’s doors at. Like most college students, I have gained some poundage over the years, approximately 10 pounds. And while I have enjoyed every last bottle of Spotted Cow and every single loaf of spicy cheesy bread, I felt my final year of college was the time to make a change, if in no other form than light beer.
